POWERSHOT
Large CMOS Sensors
The 1.5-inch type and 1.0-inch
type CMOS sensors (found on the
PowerShot G1 X Mark II and
PowerShot G7 X cameras
respectively) capture stills and
videos in amazing quality. These
large sensors capture more light with every
pixel, enabling incredible low-light performance
up to ISO 12800 with minimal noise and a
wide dynamic range even in shadow and
highlight areas. The PowerShot G1 X Mark II
and PowerShot G7 X
cameras’ sensors also
allow RAW images to be
captured in 3:2 and 4:3,
while maintaining the
same angle of view. The
added benefit of fast
f/2.0 (PowerShot G1 X Mark II) and f/1.8
(PowerShot G7 X) lenses offer great control
over depth-of-field, making it easy to achieve
sharp images with beautiful background blur.
Bright Lenses
The PowerShot G1 X Mark II, G7 X, G16 and S120
cameras come equipped with some of the
most outstanding optics offered by Canon.
Maximum apertures, fast lenses (f/2.0 on the
PowerShot G1 X Mark II, f/1.8 on the PowerShot
G7 X, G16, and S120), wide-angle zooms
(24–120mm on the PowerShot G1 X Mark II,
28–100mm on the PowerShot G7 X, 28–140mm
on the PowerShot G16, and 24–120mm on the
PowerShot S120) and the lens-based Optical
Image Stabilizer (OIS), help ensure that
images are sharp and
crisp. Hybrid IS works in
unison with OIS to greatly
reduce pitch and yaw
during macro photography
for impressive results.
HS SYSTEM
The superb performance of the
PowerShot G1 X Mark II, G7 X,
G16, and S120 cameras is in no
small part due to the Canon HS SYSTEM. The
combination of an advanced high-sensitivity

The Mark of PowerShot Excellence
The PowerShot flagship raises imaging performance with a large 1.5-inch
12.8 Megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor and powerful
6
Image Processor. A bright, 5x wide-angle optical zoom lens with Optical
Image Stabilizer and a circular, 9-blade aperture deliver stunning blurred
backgrounds. The PowerShot G1 X Mark II camera delivers the image
quality you would expect with a digital SLR camera but in a portable,
Wi-Fi
®
and NFC enabled package. Compatible with select EOS accessories,
Speedlites and a dedicated Electronic Viewfinder, this is a powerful
compact camera that can be used as a companion to an EOS digital SLR or
as a standalone camera.
The Perfect Complement to Your EOS System
With shared EOS technologies like Genuine Canon optics, Optical Image Stabilizer, the
Image
Processor, and a familiar user interface, it’s easy to transition seamlessly between an EOS camera
and a PowerShot digital camera. They’re the perfect complement to each other.
Incredible Imaging, Ready to Share
Built-in Wi-Fi
®
offers easy set-up to quickly share the spectacular images you
create with the PowerShot G16 camera. The 12.1 Megapixel High-Sensitivity
CMOS Sensor and
6
Image Processor help capture brilliant image
even in low light with an expanded ISO range of 80–12800 and a bright
f/1.8, 5x Optical Zoom lens. Continuous shooting with full resolution is
possible and the camera features Multi aspect RAW, plus compatibility with
Canon Speedlite flashes and a variety of EOS System accessories.
Advanced Imaging and Sharing with a Touch
Incredibly compact and slim, the PowerShot S120 camera provides easy
wireless sharing via built-in Wi-Fi

sensor and the brilliant DIGIC Image Processor,
along with bright lenses and the Canon Optical
Image Stabilizer, help ensure enhanced
performance. It delivers lower noise images
even at higher ISO speeds and an increase in
dynamic range. The result is dramatically
improved image quality with less blurring and
superb detail in numerous shooting situations.
Image
Processors
Since their groundbreaking
introduction in 1999, Canon
DIGIC Image Processors have set the standard
for performance and brought powerful features
to PowerShot digital cameras with each
successive generation. Image
Processors provide high-speed continuous
shooting and Full HD video, and also enables
Full HD video in MP4 format and steadier video
shooting. These processors also deliver
advanced noise reduction under low light and
an advanced Multi-area White Balance. The
powerful 6 Image Processor brings
outstanding clarity to low-light shooting for
incredibly steady video capture with enhanced
Dynamic IS and video recording in 1080p/60p
in MP4 format.
HD Video
The PowerShot G1 X Mark II,
G7 X, G16 and S120 cameras do
more than take amazing photos. They are also
superbly versatile image capture tools that
can shoot stunning 1080p Full HD video. The
PowerShot G7 X can record in 1080p/60p for
truly cinematic quality. Enjoy your spectacular
HD footage with stereo sound on your HDTV
using the convenient HDMI output connector.
Optical Image Stabilizer
Handheld shooting can often
lead to camera shake, making
photos and videos blurry. Canon’s Optical
Image Stabilizer is a sophisticated system that
shifts a lens group to correct unwanted camera
movement. It makes handheld photography
more practical in more shooting situations,
reducing camera shake for a sharper, steadier
image, even in low light.
Intelligent IS
Intelligent IS analyzes camera
movement and applies the best
shake correction method for the
shooting situation. For still photos, the system
automatically selects from among Normal IS,
Panning IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS and Tripod modes.
When shooting video, the system automatically
selects from Dynamic IS, Powered IS, Macro
(Hybrid) IS and active Tripod IS modes. This
sophisticated technology helps you concentrate
on image capture, while letting the camera make
the most effective IS settings to prevent blur.
RAW Image Capture
The PowerShot G1 X Mark II, G7 X,
G16 and S120 cameras offer RAW
image recording in addition to JPEG. Perfect for
images that the photographer wishes to work
with in post-production, RAW files are the
equivalent of digital negatives, in that only the
image data is recorded. RAW image files allow
the photographer to alter aspects like color
balance, sharpness, saturation and more,
infinite times in post-production practically
without image degradation.
Enhanced Camera
Operation
Features like a capacitive, tilt,
touch panel LCD and control rings bring a new
level of versatility and customization to the
photographic process. The capacitive touch
panel LCDs on the PowerShot G1 X Mark II, G7 X
and S120 cameras make shooting more intuitive,
while the tiltable LCD monitors (up to 180˚ and
down 45˚) on the PowerShot G1 X Mark II and
PowerShot G7 X cameras allow for composing
and shooting at a number of angles. Built-in
